InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Type B male, black, 0.5m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Type B male black 0.5m is a short USB data cable designed to connect host devices with USB Type-A ports to peripherals using a USB Type-B interface. With a length of 0.5 m and support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 signaling, the cable enables data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The compact, black jacket and standard connectors make this cable suitable for use with printers, scanners, external drives and other USB-B-equipped devices where a reliable, high-speed connection is required.

Advantages

The cable supports high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s while remaining compact and easy to route thanks to its 0.5 m length. Gold-plated contacts enhance electrical conductivity and durability, and the standard USB Type-A to Type-B connector pairing ensures broad compatibility with many peripherals. The black outer jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends with common office and home equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices to computers
• Linking scanners and document feeders to host systems
• Connecting external hard drives and docking stations with USB-B ports
• Temporary or fixed connections in desktop workstations where short cable runs are preferred

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB Type A (male) to USB Type B (male)
• Supported data rate: up to 5 Gbit/s (USB 3.2 Gen 1)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts

How to use

Identify the USB Type-A port on the host device (computer, hub or docking station) and the USB Type-B port on the peripheral (printer, scanner or external drive). Insert the Type-A connector into the host and the Type-B connector into the device until each connector seats securely. The cable supports plug-and-play operation with compatible devices; no additional configuration is typically required beyond ensuring device drivers are installed on the host system.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable during use and keep the length between devices as short as practical; this 0.5 m cable is intended for short runs in desktop or compact setups. Inspect connectors for debris before connecting and unplug by gripping the connector body rather than pulling the cable to reduce strain on the termination.
